JB Road Trip 2010 – SGW6976R

Lesson Learnt #1, always keep to the left:

At the Second Link’s Toll Plaza, we drove to the center lane without a Touch ‘n Go card. Guess what? It was an unmanned counter. No wonder there was a queue at the first two lanes. And so, we had to reverse our car and “queue up” obediently at the left lanes =(

Lesson Learnt #2, it’s okay to reverse your car:

While queueing, we saw another driver doing what we did, reversing out from his lane and joining us at queue too. Glad to know that we ain’t the only ones =)

Lesson Learnt #3, validate your parking ticket even if its FOC:

“Non-Member: Free parking for 2 hours”

So after getting our curly fries, hotdogs and rootbeer floats, we drove our way to the exit without validating our $0 parking ticket. In the end, of course the only thing we could do was to REVERSE again =/

Lesson Learnt #4, Renting a GPS system is a MUST:

Why? Because Google maps led us to Kilometres away from our desired destination (after her event) and we had to use the GPS on an iPhone. The bill for data usage was 1.5x the cost of renting our Honda Odsessy, and we rented from Hertz (not a cheap option). Well, at least we contributed to our neighbour’s economy =/

Lesson Learnt #5, humans are KPO by nature:

It was so difficult to get these shots because the drivers would all drive at 1km/h when beside us. Well, at least we didn’t cause any accidents =)

Our vehicle for the day =)

Bengyan & Shirley, enjoying themselves =)

PS: Our beloved Driver was hiding behind the camera……

Trivia #1, at the Woodlands Customs on our way back:

Someone: “The way we are squeezing to make our faces seen by the customs officer, it’s almost as though we are asking him to help us take a group pic hor?”

No wonder the customs officer was Em-Qio-ing ;)

    it is a shame that the driver was not on the photos…her ‘REVERSE’ skills were surely honed in this event..i have a phobia about reversing when driving..it is okay for parking..but not on the road when other cars are moving around..haha..the lesson #2 is hilarious..thanks for sharing.=)
